Type enhancement
Created 2012-10-10 13:02:09Z

twisted.names.client.Resolver.parseConfig currently looks for these values in the resolv.conf contents given to it, but the results are never used.

See resolv.conf(5) for details on their meaning.

Research direction

Start in twisted.names.client.Resolver.parseConfig and inspect how it parses resolv.conf contents. Read resolv.conf(5) to understand the search and domain values, then trace where resolver configuration is consumed. Done means both parsed values affect name resolution as intended, with coverage for the resulting behavior.
